Jackson Rigby Nesmith: Fall Festival and Halloween!

This is a really long post, but I have been a little under the weather the last few weeks. Greg and I decided to go to a trampoline park called Sky Zone with some friends to play dodgeball....yes, dodgeball. Within the first 5 minutes, I was hit in the eye and developed a hyphema, which is bleeding in the anterior chamber. Because of all the blood, I can't see out my right eye and am on 3 different eye drops. I have been going to the eye doctor every 2 days to get my pressures checked and today was the first day that they have strarted going down! I am on limited activity because of risk for rebleed, which is totally annoying, but at least, I should make a full recovery in a couple months! Now for a super long post! First of all, we have to say Happy Birthday to a very special 2 year old, Ben!!

We had tons of apples from our apple picking adventure, so we decided to make caramel apples. The kids loved making them but did not like eating them that much :)

Beckett just wanted to eat the chocolate

Finished product with sprinkles!

Noni and Granddaddy were in town for Grandparent's day at Jackson's school, so we they were able to join us for Jackson's fall festival at school. Jackson was most excited about the cake walk. He won a Frankenstein cake last year and really wanted to win again. It wasn't in the cards this year :(

Beckett hitting the baseball. He crushed it! This boy can't wait until it is his turn to play tball!

Time for some games!

Beckett attempting the cow toss

After each game they were able to pick out some candy. Beckett is very particular.

Color toss. If you win a game, which Jackson won this one, you get to pick out a prize. Jackson chose a gorgeous spider ring.

Last year Jackson was too scared to go throuh the bat cave, but this year he was ready! Here he is posing at his favorite teacher's grave, Mr. Llopart.

Spooky!

While Noni and Granddaddy were here they met with Angie and Papa to make some more decisions about their house. We can't wait for them to have a house in our backyard!!!

Jackson had homecoming at school and each day they had a different theme. This was dress as a character day.

Jackson finished his baseball season and we couldn't be prouder! He did great! They made it to the championship game of the tournament and played their little hearts out. It was a nail biter and they lost 6 to 7.

We had to play the same team twice and the first game we lost partly due to several errors at third base. We go the call the night before they were moving Jackson from 2nd to 3rd. I was so proud but also very nervous! He did awesome and only missed 1 ball! Great job Jackson!!

Batter up! He got an RBI!

Such a great team with great coaches! Sad it is over but can't wait until spring ball! Jackson is on to basketball!!

Super proud of our baseball star!

Trunk or treat at the church!

Beckett couldn't get enough candy.

Easy sheep!

Beckett, do you like chocolate?

Pumpkin carving time!

Jackson concentrating very hard on his masterpiece. He drew a triceratops and a jack o lantern face.

Super proud!

I made an error while cutting out Jackson's pumpkin face, so daddy came up with the brilliant idea to attach it with toothpicks and make it look 3D. Perfect!

Emma decided to join in on the fun! She mostly just ate the pumpkin guts.

Happy Halloween!

Jackson's school celebrates with a Halloween parade. The preschool and Kindergartners get dressed up and parade around the gym and lower school. Beckett was super excited to go to the gym. When he got there he wanted to watch the "game". When he was that it was just the kids in costumes parading around, he said "I didn't like that game. It was boring. "

Halloween day!

Prior to trick or treating we went over to friend's house for a chili dinner. It is so funny to see Jackson play now. Now he is running around playing football with the older kids instead of playing with toys etc. He is gowing up too fast!
